I know what you mean though there's an option so should the 4GB of RAM be not enough for a single BGP instance you can always start up to 3 more independent BGP instances to use all the memory you can. 
From 13.3 Junos BGP process can cross the 4GB boundary so there's no restriction on BGP scaling.
